Norman Evans was born in 1964 and raised on a Wisconsin farm before relocating to Olathe Kansas – where he attended Olathe high school and Olathe vocational school specializing in graphic arts and printing. At age seventeen, Norm started a quick printing company with a partner. He learned the business from the ground up. Over 30 successful years later, Norm decided to begin looking for a career that would allow him to apply his considerable personal experience toward professional growth. He believes he has found this career in real estate. It allows him to utilize his business management and customer service skills to give buyers the advantage they need to fulfill their dreams of home ownership.

Outside of his professional life, Norman has enjoyed the family life as well, and has been happily married for 32 years, is a proud father, and enjoys spending as much time with his wife and daughter as possible on their farm in Miami county. He is an avid outdoorsman, enjoys doing projects with his son-in-law, and is a lifelong music lover. We believe that his passion for family and his business knowledge puts him in a great position to provide home seekers with the professionalism of a businessman and personal touch of a father. If Norm can help your family, please contact him!
